Deepinder Goyal’s Lat Aerospace completes second demo of ultra-short take-off flight

Lat Aerospace completed a test flight of its latest technology demonstrator, Lat One v0.2, co-founder Deepinder Goyal shared in a social media post on Thursday. This comes two months after the startup tested its first iteration of the aircraft, v0.1, which achieved ultra-short takeoff but crashed immediately after.

“We just completed a successful flight for our tech demonstrator, Lat One v0.2. Lat Aerospace is building ultra-short takeoff and landing aircraft using blown wing technology. Think fixed-wing performance with near-helicopter access,” Goyal wrote in a post on X.
